My training is in the history of ideas in 18th-century
France. My early work was on the philosophy of language and
mind in the 18th century, later expanded to include the entire
early modern era (16th through 18th centuries). More
recently, I have redirected my focus to
philosophical materialism in the Enlightenment, along with editing and translation projects,
and book reviews.
